What about Lore variants? He does not give any bonus?
It would stand to reason he would.
The only Lore variant is The One, Lore, and he has the Borg trait, so he gets the bonus.
That's what I was thinking. I came to see if anyone else found a Lore that I missed. I appreciate the confirmation.
It's obviously coming. Perhaps live by the following week. Might be a Hybrid Fraction/Something 01/17
There is nothing that says that they have to debut the faction at the same time as an event using that faction.
This. The Faction has basically been confirmed. The whole 15th Faction Achievement, plus the really big clue. Borg Transmissions are showing up in "Get
Item" Drops, but Locked........
Could even be launched within a Borg Semi-Mega. Four weeks of Borg Events, but no Mega repeating Crew.......
If so, DB better listen to the masses...

A cheesecake character would be quite interesting.
Then I realized, before this announcement, if the new Faction was introduced DURING a Faction Event, everyone would be playing the Borg Faction to rank up.
So I'm guessing this is the introduction to the Borg Faction to game lore, which will launch post event.
Just me thinking typing out loud.

Just the Cheesecake, we don't need the Seven/Doctor part of the equation. The art is just a closeup of the cheesecake. Make it security-primary for the dairy content and the inevitable reaction for the lactose-intolerant people of the universe.
On the plus side, the 4* and 5* rewards are unlikely to be event crew in the future (unless in a rerun) so missing out won't really be that bad.
You're probably right about event crew, the 5* might have traits that will match as small bonus crew relatively often though, borg for sure among others
I wonder how well I will do without using any time boosts.
Be hilarious if it is a STEALTH Mega, with Cheesecake Doctor Seven as the Recurring, and they are just not letting @Shan say, because it is a Convergence Day surprise. Everyone gets a Cheesecake Doctor Seven with the Update Announcement in-game message.........
Just a little thing, but with the whole 5* a week ahead thing, shouldn't the Event 5* be technically "new"? Just little early now, so people can Rank them. Not a big deal. Just a random "I wonder" thing.
I can understand the way it is set up. The 5* event crew drops in people’s crew quarters on Monday (or as early as the previous week, for lucky Dabo winners) while the new event 4* is only available when the event goes live (since I don’t recall seeing event 4* crew being won early from Dabo).
The terminology made a little more sense when even Dabo winners would only have a couple of days’ head start rather than more than a week, so I totally understand where you’re coming from.
